| Abstract |
This study aims to determine the frequency of potential drug-drug interactions (PDI) in hospitalized elderly and associated factors. This is a cross-sectional study in a teaching hospital. The dependent variable was the occurrence of potential drug interactions identified using DrugReax software. Patients with adverse drug reactions (ADR) related to clinical manifestations of PDIs were also identified. Multivariate logistic regressions was performed to analyze the association between the occurrence of PDIs and independent variables. In total, 237 older adults were included in the study. The prevalence of PDIs and interaction-related ADRs was 87.8% and 6.8%, respectively. The multivariate analysis showed a positive association between the detection of PDIs (OR 8.6; 95% CI, 2.5-30.0), and hospitalization due to a diagnosed circulatory system disease and number of medications > 14 (OR 9.8; 95% CI, 2.8-34.3%). The study showed a high prevalence of PDIs in the drug treatment of the elderly, but a lower prevalence of ADRs, as well as a positive association between PDIs and hospitalization due to a diagnosed circulatory system disease and number of medications > 14. The identification of factors associated with PDIs guides prevention measures for people that are more exposed to adverse events. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 6. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 05 February 2019.
All research outputs
#6,600,606
of 25,385,509 outputs
Outputs from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#355
of 2,037 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#126,734
of 446,429 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Ciência & Saúde Coletiva
#12
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,385,509 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 73rd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,037 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 3.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 446,429 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
